See what I did there? ๐
I think Peter's book is quite interesting and adds an important facet to the discussion. For example, responding to Robert Sapolsky's determinist views, Peter described Robert as โa wonderful explainer of complex phenomena,โ but added, โa person can be both brilliant and utterly wrong.โ
I must be honest here. Peter's work lands at the very outside edge of my ability to comprehend it. I can understand what he's saying and why. Barely. I have nowhere near the training needed to weigh their competing claims. I like Peter personally, and I prefer his view.
But my reason for citing his book isn't to change your mind but open it to another possibilityโthat free will is real and its existence is backed by neuroscience, not just philosophy, religion, superstition, personal experience, or wishful thinking.
It is a genuinely open scientific question. Still.
And I think that's outstanding and wonderful. The whole notion that a multi-millennial, inconclusive, philosophical and religious debate remains inconclusive even with the latest fMRI data is really quite thrilling. I love things like that.
@OhioRizzin@victor_vibing@HowToPrompt__@amazon I was too lazy to take a photo of my copy of the book and post it. And I thought I'd make it easier for you to educate yourself.
But do what you want. The choice is up to you.
This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.
A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.
It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:
56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.
More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.
343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.
That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.
The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:
The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.
Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.
Now look at the individual leaderboard:
- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade
And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.
She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.
The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.
The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.
And the cruelest part is this:
A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.
But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.
They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.
The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.
Epstein was a Mossad asset. One of MANY doing the same things around the world. So he, other agents, the Israeli intelligence community and the entire government represent the views and practices of a not insignificant number of Jews, though by no means all.
"Islamic creatures from hell who want to take over the entire world and kill you if you do not turn Islamic."
That is false. Islam honors Jesus as a prophet and is cordial towards Christians, whom it classifies as fellow "people of the book."
And, last I checked, Muslim countries weren't attacking non-Muslim countries, let lone committing genocide.
You probably don't work or socialize with Muslims. But all the ones I know personally are among the kindest people I've ever met. That doesn't mean all of them are kind, just that you need a fuller picture.
Maybe you should get out more. See the world. Do you even know what the biggest Muslim country is? Hint: It's not a country known for violence towards non-Muslims.
As for what the Quran says, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture โ everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. ๐
Bookmark it for later
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture.
It will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are actually built than most people in top AI companies learn across their entire careers.
Save this.
BREAKING:
Both the White House and RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.
It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

@rox_maga247@DisrespectedThe Because Democrats are more likely to vote absentee/by mail. It's as simple as that. Look it up.
Famously, undated absentee ballots from active duty military were counted in 2000, leading to Bush's winning Florida and the presidency.
